If you think the current crop of Republicans doesn't deserve vitriol and hate you are a stupid, ignorant moron and you're never gonna be of any help to anybody.

People recognizing objective reality is good. Mealy mouthed quisling decorum bullshit is getting us all killed.

Can we go back to talking about Trump thinking about forcing the military to build his motherfucking wall?

At least that topic is genuinely frightening instead of just "our country is so brokenly sexist/racist" depressing.

yeah i know

but there's also a reality that with so few of them present compared to men, women in politics are expected to perform better right now

and it's total loving bullshit, it's institutionalized sexism, it's unfair, but it's also true

politics is POLITICS, a battle for control via bureaucracy and legitimacy, and not as easy as just you giving advice online, whoda loving thunk it

I like that she cursed personally but I think it was a dumbfuck move if you actually wanted to position yourself well coming in fresh

It just was.

It's in part up to you how much it hurts her. If you continue to pearl-clutch, it will be worse for her. If you, like the rest of us, throw up your hands and lean into it, she'll be fine. Saying "it's unfair, but I'm not going to do anything about it" doesn't absolve you of responsibility. The right wants you to feel this way. They're not out there chasing down the imaginary Undecideds with this stuff--the only people who still believe in all that are liberal journalists and their rich patrons. They're after people like you who will push to water down the "left" until it is nothing but a token resistance.

I don't feel this way! You guys are the only ones who think I feel upset by what she said. I am trying to express to you that your opinions or what you personally think is right isn't what's at stake here. What's fair vs what is reality. She's GOING to be held to higher standards, and they're going to attack her each time they see a weakness. It's good Pelosi circled the wagons to protect her. She's going to have to be more clever moving forward.

I'm just upset that you guys don't seem to realize THE NARRATIVE ISN'T SO EASY TO JUST DEFINE. It gets defined outside of your It's not as simple as just saying 'that's institutionalized sexism!' at a man's face and then it's fixed

One of my favorite videos is the "Please proceed, governor" moment from one of the Obama-Romney debates.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFwtuInlMew

And lately, I have found that undecided voters meter on the bottom absolutely hilarious. Like watching them change with each moment, each statement, and so on. I don't remember how they measured it (can anyone fill me in?), but I imagine it was buttons on chairs or texts from phones or something. Like how can people think we're suddenly dumber than we used to be? When we used to think that was informative?

Alright, let em do whatever. This is a small issue I shouldn't even care about despite my dumb posting as of late.

There are much more important issues anyway, like getting facists out of office, impeachment proceedings.

At the very least I just want to laugh at tweets again.

How the gently caress do ya'll get by willing to point out the minutiae of Trump's constant lies while also being unable to argue with the actual points being made by people in this thread? Neither Skyarb nor myself are suggesting that Representative Tlaib's calling Trump a motherfucker is going to drive democrats to the republican party.

Hell yeah the democratic 'base' as much as ever is unified around visceral disgust for President Trump, but that doesn't serve Representative Tlaib's goals in the long run when positions on committees are handed out to members of the Congress with a proven track record of getting poo poo done in a professional way.

You are the base right now in that you are unified in derision for Trump, but the moment he's gone we'll be back to arguing about the details of M4A and school lunches. The same thing is (HOPEFULLY) going to happen in Congress, and when that time comes we're going to want professionals working at it. It's cool that ya'll see a kindred spirit in Tlaib (and so do I!) but the thought of this thread trying to hammer out legislation without self destructing in a spectacular display of whataboutism and assumptions of bad faith is a goddamn nightmare.
